was received received here early on Tuesday
morning.
Immediately on receipt of the news
our citizens with a unanimity tha
expressed more than words 'could
tell their deep sorrow, began drapin :
their business places with the em
blems of -mourning,and by 10 o'clock
a. it. the Court House and publi
offices,. and almost every bush).
place in townwere draped in mourn .
ing. Flags at half-mast, were' sus
pended at various `points. Gene:
sadness and gloom'pervaded.our en
tire community. At eleven o'clock
4. M. the bells of. all our churches'
tolled a requiem for the illustrion:
dead, and all business place - s were
closed for the day in memory of on
dearly-beloved and sorely stricken
Chief Executive,
Although the; public mind was
prepared for tho-droad alternsitive, i
was not expected that' his demise
- - would come so soon.. Our peopl:
seemed too sad to talk and every
face - , betokened 'the deep sorrow the
heart felt. While- the bells tolled
they seemed to say: ' etern
rest to him, 42 Lord r i
Thus after seventy-nine - days o
severe .pain and terrible suffering
froni the wound inflicted by the . as
sassin Guitean President Garfield
•
closed an illustrious and well-spent
life; canonized in the hearts of a
loving people. As citizen, christian,
soldier,and atatesman,his life presehts
the highest type of American citizen
ship. Struggling np from poverty,
- by his owli industry guided by .the
early imbibed principles of christian
integrity and honoi instilled by a
sainted mother, he rose to the top
most round in the ladder of fame,
and from, thence he has stepped to
the sky. -
"The first niournor to-clay
Is the Nation, whose father is taken away.
Wife, children and mother may moan at his
- LOU, :-
He was lover and friend to his country as
_ well.
For the stars on our banner grow suddenly
dim,
Let us weep in our anguish but weep not
for him,
Not for hint Who departing lesves millions
in tears,
Not for him who has'died - fill of honor and
years,
Not for him who ascending fame's" ladder so
high,
From the round at the top he has stepped
to the sky,
Tis blessed to go when so ready to die."

OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS BY DB. BLISS.
Dr. Bliss this morning dictated the
allowing diagnosis of thefr -- President's
case:
After he was wound4d the • limited
rew of the traumatic trouble in the
lower portion of the lone of the right
nag was found due to hypostatic con
. s s t t l ign in nip e araadiratmeity
• y the bnllet,the inflammation being ag
.vated by the nearness to the free
tared rib. The congestion increased in
i'ntensity, though not in area, owing to
the long continued recumbent position
of the patient. There was no difficulty
in breathing and
_no cough at that time,
nor until the parotid trouble. When
the latter became aggravated the pus
from the gland found , its way into the
month, and the coughing efforts to
throw it off being very difficult and con.'
'nuons, induced an inflammation of the
mucus membrane of the mouth. Tb •
pus continuing to cause this cough, the
inflammation extended to the throat,
then to the larynx and thence to_ th •
bronchial tubes downward. This inflam
mation naturally extended to the right,
becasue the patient nearly all the time
lay on that side, and when it reached
the neighborhood of the afflicted lung,
't was faturalli morbid inthat direction.
uring all this time the septic condi-
'on ,of the blood was doing its work,
nd when the lung and bronchial affcc..:
tions at last, met, they, found the de.;
ranged and enfeebled system lit a very
low grade. Still the blood lesions were'
all repairing at this time. The conjano.
lion of the two laminations came at
the best opportunity for the disaemina,
tion of,the combined activities of each,
nd there was a spreading of thelitiited
troubles. The healing of the lesions
was stopped - at about this time, and the
repairing process 'arrested. We do not
know yet if the result has been to de.
posit pus in the lungs. If any pas is
now in the right lung it is not indicated,
and the deposit' mast have occurred '
within the post or four days. The
amount would be
. extremely small. If
there was not innutrition the - patient
would be able to.resist
.the successful
operations of all these' nausea even yet,
.ut-thera is innntrition and the healing
process is stopped. The blood .cannot
furnish the Constituents of repay, and
here is nothing to build 'on, nor even
• support what vitality - is still left, and
that is being continually drawn on and
• iminished.
